The United States has always been a country of immigrants and refugees.

• How many refugees do we have?
• Where are they coming from?

With the amount of data publicly available it is possible to see the current trends in refugee arrivals.

The Department of Homeland Security publishes a report every 10 years showing how many refugees have arrived from each country per year.
